Washington (Reuters). The US has taken an airstrike at the terrorists’ location in eastern Syria. It was ordered by American President Joe Biden. In his order, he asked for limited airstrikes on Iran-backed militants based in eastern Syria. This decision was recently taken after the US Army personnel were targeted in Iraq. Biden, however, gave instructions only for Syria to take action on the attack. Biden, in his order, has asked the Iranian terrorists to airstrike at the targets they potentially use. It has been reported by Pentagon spokesperson John Cribby.

Giving information about this, Cribby said that President Biden is doing this to protect the lives of his jawans and his fellow people. He also said that President Biden does not want to let the situation in Syria and Iraq deteriorate. As far as American airstrikes are concerned, it was done only on the bases of Iranian terrorists on border control. All these locations belong to Qatayib Hizbullah and Qaitib Syed Al Shuhada. Cribby has made it clear that the purpose of these attacks is to send a message to the terrorists that they want to punish them for their misdeeds. Its purpose is not to make the situation more serious.

However, it has not been clear yet how many terrorists have piled up in the places where the airstrike has been done. Let us tell you that in this area, America has done airstrikes many times before. The attack on American troops in Iraq was carried out while searching for ways for Iran to revert to the nuclear treaty. In 2015, the treaty during the Barack Obama administration was rejected by President Donald Trump as waste and he came out of the treaty. After this, Iran also broke its ties with the treaty.

Let us tell you that on February 15, a non-American contractor was killed and some other American contractors were injured in a rocket attack on the US base at Irbil International Airport. The injured also included members of the US service. After this, on 23 February, the Green Zone in Baghdad was attacked in a similar way. Apart from the US embassy here, some more diplomats are in residence. The government of Iraq is investigating the attack on American soldiers on 15 February.
